- Wise leaders do not just talk — they transform. They understand that every conversation is a chance to lift someone up, defuse conflict, spread truth, or bring healing. Their words reflect the condition of their hearts, shaped by humility, the fear of the Lord, and a commitment to wisdom. (Brian Dodd)

- Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to mobilize the lay leaders in your church family for disciple-making in the “Judea” – Near Quadrant of our Acts 1:8 mandate. Who is coming with you to be commissioned and unleashed?
We have received a few questions regarding this embedded event – here are a few helpful points of clarification:
- Registration is optional (and free) and is intended for those who are planning to engage in the events not included in the four regular camp services.
- The four services during this event (Monday supper – Wednesday lunch) will still be open camp worship times (with slight variations) per normal, but the theme of these services will narrow in the “Disciple Where You Go” to people being disciple-makers in their influence outside the walls of the church.
- There is no charge for this value-add item, there will be some optional events between the services for those who are coming specifically for this event.
